An already crazy week for the Los Angeles Dodgers organization got even crazier on Saturday when their Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes, got involved in a bench-clearing brawl with the Memphis Redbirds, Triple-A affiliate for the St. Louis Cardinals.

According to Josh Jackson of MiLB.com, both teams had been warned in the third inning when Cardinals prospect Maikel Cleto hit Jeremy Moore after the batter requested (but was not granted) a late timeout. Both benches emptied at that point but it did not escalate beyond heated words.

Now, fast forwarding to the following inning, Moore came up again and this time connected for a three-run homer off relief pitcher Jorge Rondon. The next Isotopes hitter was Justin Sellers, whom we've seen with the Dodgers in the past. On a 1-0 pitch, it appeared like Sellers was nicked by Rondon's pitch, though the umpires said otherwise. As a result of the pitch location, both benches cleared again, only this time with punches thrown and players wrestling each other to the ground.

Pro golfers! They're just like us, spraying shots all over the course! Rickie Fowler, who had an outside shot at the top of the leaderboard coming into Sunday, had difficulties early and couldn't close the gap. What he could do was distribute a souvenir to a fan at the 17th grandstand, sending his tee shot deep into the crowd.

He then attempted to take a bite out of his own wedge, because that's exactly what Merion makes you want to do.

Will Tony Parker be 100 percent in Game 5? (Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE/Getty Images)

In a purely literal sense, Game 5 of the 2013 NBA Finals isn't a must-win, no matter what any member of the San Antonio Spurs or Miami Heat tries to tell you — with the series tied at two games apiece, whichever team drops Sunday night's contest will still have two shots at staying alive and hoisting the O'Brien once the series shifts back to South Beach. On the other hand, though, as NBA.com's John Schuhmann noted, of the 10 times the Finals have been tied 2-2 since 1985, the team that won Game 5 has won the series seven times. On balance, then, it would seem like a better thing to win Game 5 than to lose it; that much is not in question.

But there's an awful lot of stuff that is in question as we head into the matchup between LeBron James' Heat and Tony Parker's Spurs. Here are seven running through my head as I wait for tip:

1. Can Parker play full speed for the full game?

After suffering a grade 1 strain of his right hamstring in the second half of San Antonio's Game 3 win, Spurs fans were concerned that Parker would be unable to hit the gas in Game 4. The All-Star point guard promptly allayed those concerns, hitting four of his first five shots to score eight points with two assists and a steal in the first six minutes of Thursday's contest.

He looked great throughout the first two quarters of Game 4, seeming comfortable and confident, getting to his preferred spots on the floor and showcasing the absurd shotmaking ...

... and draw-and-dish playmaking ...

Phil Mickelson is a guy known for being cool, calm and collected on the golf course. He usually walks around with a big grin on his face, giving that famous thumbs-up move to any fan that will look his way.

Early in his final round at the U.S. Open, Phil was not happy, and it turned out it was where the tees were set on the third hole. A par-3 that is said to play just 256 yards, Mickelson remarked after his tee shot on No. 4 to someone with the USGA that he couldn't even reach the green from where they placed the tees (check the 30 second mark in the above video).

"That was terrible," Phil said. "274 (yards)? We can't even reach it."

Mickelson did make a double-bogey on the hole, and while he followed it up with a great tee shot on the par-5 4th hole en route to a birdie he was still thinking about that previous hole as he went on with his round.

You gotta keep your head on a swivel when you're at a golf tournament, as you never know quite when a ball's coming your way. A volunteer found this out as Luke Donald sailed one straight into her noggin, part of an absolutely godawful start to the day for the former world No. 1.

The volunteer was OK — Donald gave her a signed glove — but the same can't be said for Luke's game. Donald had flirted with the lead all day Saturday before falling apart in the final two holes, and he's virtually played himself out of the tournament with a six-over front nine.

If Phil Mickelson goes on to win this 2013 U.S. Open, it will be that second shot on the par-4 10th hole that will be the one he will remember for the rest of his life.

Sitting slightly in the rough, Mickelson pulled a wedge from 76 yards and went right at the pin in typical Phil fashion and the ball looked like it was on a mission to disappear.

The eagle put Mickelson back in the lead as everyone is trying to win this crazy U.S. Open at Merion, but that shot will go down as one of the best of Mickelson's storied career.

At one point during Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan, Hendrick Motorsports cars were running 1-2-3. No, they didn't finish in those positions. Not even close.

In fact, it turned into a bad day rarely seen around the Hendrick camp. How brutal was it? Well, it was the first time since Sonoma in 2005 that a Hendrick car didn't finish in the top 25.

Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were occupying those top three spots when Kahne suffered a right front tire failure on lap 104. The flat occurred as Kahne entered turn one and his car immediately shot to the right and towards the outside wall where his engine burst into flames upon impact.

Kahne immediately emerged from his car and walked away. He finished 38th.

Where was Jeff Gordon, you ask? We'll get to him in a moment.

After the ensuing pit stops under caution, Earnhardt Jr. took the lead and he held it until lap 128 when his engine started to go sour. Johnson passed him for the lead and then a short while later,

With teammate Danielle De Rossi on his back, Mario Balotelli reproduced his famous shirtless flex goal celebration from Euro 2012 after scoring the 78th minute winner in Italy's Confederations Cup group stage match against Mexico.

Balotelli added to Andrea Pirlo's lovely goal from a free kick in the first half by chasing down a lobbed pass in the box and fired the ball pass Mexico's keeper while falling backwards. He was then shown a yellow card — his third in three matches — for removing his shirt and substituted in the 86th minute to avoid the possibility of another.

After the match, Italy manager Cesare Prandelli issued a public warning to Mario about the impromptu gun shows he keeps inviting everyone to. From Football Italia:

“There are no more words for Andrea [Pirlo], just a huge embrace and round of applause. As for Mario, he’s got to stop showing off his muscles, because the yellow cards do count.”

With the 2-1 win, Italy ended Mexico's 13-match unbeaten streak. They face Japan next, while Mexico will have another tough task against Brazil.
